Seattle Fire responded to reports of a single-family house fire at 108 NW 84th St. about 4:30 p.m. Thursday and transported a man in his 50s to Harborview Medical Center with non-life threatening burns, spokeswoman Dana Vander Houwen said.

Firefighters responded to a report of a garage on fire and arrived to find the back side a two-story home engulfed in flames. The fire was under control by 5:30 p.m., but investigators had not determined the cause.

The victim was in the house when it started, but was able to escape on his own, Vander Houwen said.
